Published: Friday, October 02, 1998

A show of scale model homes and other buildings has been scheduled Saturday and Sunday at the Lubbock Municipal Garden and Arts Center, 4215 University Ave.

The exhibition, organized by the Miniaturists of Lubbock, will feature detailed miniature structures ranging from log cabins to elaborate houses. Approximately 20 club members plan to display their work.

Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission, which is $2 for adults and $1 for children, goes to charity, according to Fannye Burkleo, president of the club and show chairwoman.

Although the show homes are not for sale, door prizes will be given away each hour, Burkleo said.

The prizes include such items as miniature tea pots and furniture.

Dealers plan to set up booths to market miniature furniture, plants and other small items for miniaturists who are building scale-model homes.

The Miniaturists of Lubbock meet at 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Friday of most months at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 4600 48th St.

Those interested in learning about the club have been invited to attend. Membership is $4 a year.
